Package: kdebase Version: 4:2.2.2-14.8 I think the KDE Theme Manager (Preferences | Look & Feel | Theme Manager) is still broken. It was reported in bug 203863 which is marked as fixed and closed.
The error message is: Theme does not contain a .themerc nor a .theme file. To repeat the error: >From the K menu select Preferences | Look & Feel | Theme Manager then click on a theme, or from the K menu select Control Centre | Look & Feel | Theme Manager then click on a theme. The bug might not appear on a fresh install. What I was expecting: Actually, this used to work, and a lot of people have reported the same. I was expecting the theme to change when I clicked on a new theme name. What I think is broken: I think something is deleting the directory .kde/share/apps/kthememgr/Work You can see an error report if you run the theme manager in a shell and select a theme: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ kcmshell kthememgr Xlib: extension "RENDER" missing on display "host:1.0". sh: cd: /home/user/.kde/share/apps/kthememgr/Work/: No such file or directory QDir::readDirEntries: Cannot read the directory: /home/user/.kde/share/apps/kthememgr/Work As an experiment, I created this directory and tried to select a theme. The directory was deleted. I think something is deleting the directory rather than the *contents* of the directory. e.g: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mkdir .kde/share/apps/kthememgr/Work [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls .kde/share/apps/kthememgr/Work [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ Now select a theme. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls .kde/share/apps/kthememgr/Work ls: .kde/share/apps/kthememgr/Work: No such file or directory [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ System configuration: This happens on a server and a laptop I have installed. Both are running Debian 3.0 r0 Woody (bf24 variant) with all security updates and various (and different) packages. uname -a output: Linux host 2.4.18-bf2.4 #1 Son Apr 14 09:53:28 CEST 2002 i686 unknown It originally worked, but because I use the feature so rarely I don't know when it stopped working. I don't think bug 203863 should have been closed yet. Or rather, it may well have been fixed in KDE 3.2, but not in KDE 2.2.2, which is the version in Debian 3.0 Woody. Thank you.
